Oh, that's an easy fix.  Don't move to an area that doesn't have DSL!  What
are you thinking?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

On a serious note: It's really REALLY painful to go from DSL to dial-up.
I've done it and hated it.  I finally ended up breaking down and getting
cable.  As much as I hate the inability to host my own servers (#$%@ AT&T),
at least I can surf without falling asleep.  I won't even consider a house
in the future unless it has some sort of broadband access.  Consider
yourself forewarned.

Well, I read this neat article in Linux Journal (Feb/Mar) on
configuring pppd. And now that I'm moving to a place that _doesn't_
have dsl, I need to make that work.

So, I downloaded WvDial (since they pointed out at the end of the
article how neat that was), and it won't compile. There's some sort of
missing reference to crypt that causes the makefile to exit.

So, I went thru the elements of the article. I got the modem
configured on the right port, and can make it dial out with minicom,
and with pppd chat_connect, but when I try to make it login with my
name, it fails.

I use ssh normally to log in, and I know the (telnet) password is correct
because fetchmail uses it to get the mail, but I can't get the
pap_secrets to successfully work. Here is the output of the debug
script (pppd /dev/modem 38400 modem lock connect /etc/ppp/chat-connect
user brucek defaultroute debug):

Anybody got any ideas how to read where my problem is?
